Happy New Year!
With the close of 2020 and the hope associated with the new year, create your own revolutionary vision board. Start simple with a posterboard and markers. Define ONE action item for each key area of your life. Display your board in a location you will see it daily. And remember, regardless of your New Year’s resolution process, make it realistic, memorable, achievable, and comprehensive—encompassing all areas of your life—not just a weight goal.
2021 Financial Goals
Make a list of personal financial goals. Then determine what is achievable in the next 12 months and add it to your Vision Board. Add a reward system for meeting your goal. Look at it each month and hold yourself accountable. Achievement will bring you Joy!
2021 Physical Goals
Apply Newton’s First Law of Motion—a body at rest tends to stay at rest, and a body in motion tends to stay in motion—to your New Year’s Resolution Vision Board to remind you to get moving so that you stay active. Also, add a personal challenge to the equation, then find something you enjoy and get moving.
2021 Personal Goals
Ready. Set. Go. Think “personal goals”. It’s easy to confuse and comingle personal goals with physical, financial, and even spiritual goals, but they should be distinct and different. If you don’t know how to add personal goals to your 2021 Resolutions, check out these ideas.
2021 Family Goals
Ready. Set. Go. Grab the markers, old magazines, and poster-board and get inspired. Create those 2021 Family Goals today.
2021 Community Goals
What is your community? For me community is not a government form of socialism, but a personal form of socialism—where I choose to put others first, choose to share with those in need, choose to give time and effort to make a better world.
2021 Spiritual Goals
As I work on my 2021 Vision Board, I am reminded of findingJOY through the suffering in this challenging year that is finally coming to an end. So, I’ve chosen JOY as my word and Romans 15:13 as a new mantra to remind me that I will be filled with JOY in all circumstances. Add a spiritual goal to your New Year’s Resolution. It will bring you comfort and peace.
The 2021 Resolution
Good-bye 2020!! I’m ready for 2021. How about you? Get started today on a fun and rewarding New Years Resolution Board and Vision Statement. Grab the markers, old magazines, and poster-board and get inspired.
The Imperfect Tree
Inspiring words from Patricia Cameron, guest blogger and mother extraordinaire, about the beauty found in the ugly this Christmas… ”It’s probably the ugliest tree we’ve ever had. We had a short window to get it and hurriedly picked it out in the rain. I’ve tried to disguise its crooked form with lights and ribbons. But when I look at it, I see the lean to the left, the gaping holes and bare places where the base of the tree can be seen through its limbs…”
Chasing Perfect
Too busy planning, cleaning, shopping, and cooking to enjoy the holidays? Me too! And I’m over it. No more! This is how I plan to STOP CHASING PERFECT and make the season special without the exhaustion.
The Holiday Collection
Have you heard? The newest hot color is Aegean Teal and it fabulous in artwork and accessories. I’ve added the color to my 2020 Holiday Collection…check it out.
Family Recipe Secret
The pressure is on this non-cook to fill my mother’s big-cook-shoes. I’m cooking my very FIRST Thanksgiving meal. The secret to my family’s tradtional Thanksgiving Feast is the dressing. And the secrets to great dressing are chicken and rice soup, black pepper, parmesan cheese, refrigerating overnight, and lots of chicken broth. I’m sharing the James family secret dressing recipe—vist www.TraciCanterbury.Com
Make. Every. Day. Count
The dragonfly is symbolic for spiritual change and transformation, adaptability, self-realization and understanding the deeper meaning of life. There is nothing more perfect than the dragonfly to represent my hopes for the inspiration and content of findingJOY.
Finding Joy. Life
So, who is Traci Canterbury?
As I navigate this new lifestyle, I’ve vowed to find and appreciate simple joy in everyday life in and through the things I love: art, literature, gardening, hospitality, healthy active lifestyle and travel. I have so much to say and want to get it out of my head …starting a social media feed seems a natural outlet.
